<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBut let\u2019s not forget to read on: \u2018You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you\u2019 says God in verses 13 and 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must be aware that we need to seek God\u2019s presence wholeheartedly if we earnestly desire to find Him! The exiles needed to hear this as a nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, sometimes we need to remind ourselves of it, too \u2013 God has good plans for us, yes; but we need to seek Him for who He is, not just for what He might do for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also need to remember that verse 11 doesn\u2019t read: \u2018I know the plans I have for me, God.\u2019 They are God\u2019s plans \u2013 they may not always line up with what we are requesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is only as we remain in His presence that we may be able to see and fully accept this!<\/p>\n\n\n
